Katherine Heigl Apologizes After Posing for Selfies in New York Cemetery, Sparking Uproar

Katherine Heigl has apologized after a grave mistake where she took selfies at a New York cemetery.

The 39-year-old actress posed solemnly at the headstone of her brother, Jason, who lost his life in a car accident when he was 16. Her grandparents are also buried there.

She acknowledges she committed a blunder when she took selfies in front of the gravesites of strangers.

“It’s kind of a heavy thing to go and visit my loved ones' graves and I tried to find some moments of levity and humor and didn't realize how inappropriate I was being," Heigl said in an Instagram video posted Monday. "So, I deeply apologize and want to think you guys for understanding that sometimes I don't think things through clearly enough."
